AMAZING COUNTY CRICKET SCORING

GOLF CLUB SENSATION

SEQUEL TO LAW SUIT

CLUB EXPELS MEMBER

A

Mr. J. C. Mcllwraith, solicitor, of Carlisle-road, Hamil- ton, Lanarkshire, was, éxpolled from the Hamilton Golf Club, at a meeting of the members for conduct which, it was alleged, was unsportsmanlike and ob noxious to the majority of the members. The decision was carried by 02 votes to 25..

A special meeting was sum. moned on a petition of members who were dissatisfied with the action of Mr. Mellwraith in going to court to settle difference between him and the council of the club.

a

The first public intimation of this controversy was made when an nation by Mr. Mellwraith against the club was called at Hamilton Sheriff Court.

APPEAL TO SHERIFF.

Mr. Mellwraith usked the sheriff to restrain the council of the club from playing off the second and succeeding rounds of the Shanks Cup competition on the grounda that he (Mr. Mclwraith), having been a successful competitor in the first round, had been unreasonably debarred from playing in the second and succeeding rounds,

Sheriff Brown refuse to grant the injunction, and the competition was completed.

P. E.

It was argued by Mr. Soutter, solicitor and secretary of the club, that the reason why Mr. Mellwraith was not allowed to piny hvas because he had not paid his annual subscription which was due In December, and, according to rule, anyone who had not paid by January, 1933, was debarred from playing in the competition.

Mr. Mellwrathi's solicitor argued that according to the rules of the club, Mr. Mcllwraith was entitled to take part in the second and suc- eeeding rounds of the competition, having been allowed to play in the first round.

In each of four matches over 1,000 runs were. scored.

Eighteen batsmen reached three figure scores. Two obtained double centuries.
